After not buying any new dolls for a while I went a little crazy this past week haha. Sweet 1600 Draculauta, Party Hair Draculaura, Swim Clawdeen, Electrified Clawdeen (my first reboot Clawdeen) Ghouls Night Out Spectra, Scream and Sugar 2 pack (on clearance at TRU) Shriek Wrecked Catrine, a random lot of shoes, and 3 hand made doll dresses from Etsy

A sig Ghoulia vinyl, which I've been hunting for (at a reasonable price) for ages. She was reduced to £4.99 in the Toys R Us sale, and since they had a BOGOF offer on all MH stuff, I threw a Haunted Twyla into my cart, which meant my Ghoulia was free!

OK, technically I would have spent less if I'd just got Ghoulia, but Twyla took my fancy (plus stand, yay!). She's got a really Blade Runner vibe to me, so she may end up redressed and go sit with all my alien girls.

Reboot sig Lagoona. Loving her outfit and her turquoise purse. Paid full price ($15) but didn't want to miss her.

A small thrift store saga...

Yesterday at Goodwill I lucked into some NIB EAH dolls (Jillian Beanstalk and Nina Thumbell), which I posted about in the 'What's the last EAH thing you bought' thread - while that was a GREAT score (5 bucks each!) I had a sad moment when I spied an MH Shriekwrecked Dayna in someone else's cart - she's one I don't have yet, as I've been slowly working on my Shriekwrecked collection.

So this morning, on a hunch, I went BACK to the Goodwill - and I scored a NIB Shriekwrecked Rochelle! Box was uber-crunched and taped, but everything was there and doll was unharmed. I love her in all her pirate-y, wench-y goodness!

Some styling tips - her eyepatch can double as a low-slung belt - works well with her poufy skirt and rides a bit below her other gold belt. I also restyled her neck scarf, doubling it and passing the ends through the loop around her neck - having two layers of fabric encircling her neck makes for a better presentation, and the ends stick out at a very jaunty angle. Aye, matey! Avast and ahoy!!

I found reboot sig Cleo & Clawdeen on eBay for $14.99 each from Target. I was going to just get Cleo & would've had to have paid shipping, so I looked to see if they had Clawdeen too. They did, and as a result shipping was free! I ended up paying the same price I would've if I'd gone to the store and gotten them. YAY free shipping!

My two new girls are both eBay finds I've been meaning to hunt down a cheap Purrsephone for a while - since Meowlody was released by herself but Purrs never was, that meant I had an uneven number of them. And that really bothered me I didn't like having one twin by herself. So I found a nice loose one on eBay the other day ^^ She's redressed (I was planning to redress her anyway, but man she rocks this outfit so well I'm pretty sure I'll just leave her as she is!) and a little pre-loved (her hair needs a bit of attention and it looks like someone had a go at painting her claws? But it's not too bad, I don't mind it) and I LOVE HER.

And then today a Mouscedes arrived ^^ Got a wild hair to get another one to redress - I love Mousie and I doubt they'll release her again - and I managed to win a fairly cheap one on eBay. Woo.

Ordered the Dance the Fright Away playset the other day of eBay for a mere £7.50 brand new. It arrived today and I must say that I like it, it's of a much better quality than I'd imagined after viewing a couple of youtube vids. Now my masters can party on down at the disco lol
